The Acorn issue is a nusience but it does not matter unless theres a body showing up to cast a vote. Theres a way to prevent this by making the voting process full proof with paper ballots, but noone wants to do it. Or by having a uniformed standard for the voting process instead of decided by the states. As a start everyone should automatically be registered to avoid all this crap as well. Common sence is absolutely lost in our process, its meant to be complicated so it can be rigged.

*It's obvious the motives of the Acorn workers was money. They weren't looking to rig elections, but to get extra money in their pockets. You can REGISTER as many voters as you like fake, or not, but the count doesn't matter when the illegal votes can't be cast.

@JazzB1987 Just cause you are too lazy to pay attention enough to differentiate between the parties doesn't mean there is no difference. Sure there are bought and paid for Democrats... They let everyone in. Republicans on the other hand, are all bought and paid for or they become independents. Dont believe me? answer to this question, Name a bill that the republicans have sponsored and advocated for, or a law passed by a republican congress (both houses) that benefits the American ppl

according to the Dem whistleblower from Alabama, it's the absentee ballots that cause most of the fraud.

probably both

Democrats and Republicans are 1 party. Their chairmens etc know it the normal members dont. They both "work" for their stupid leaders who control media society and economics. If Party 1 gets elected and gets hated they simply make the other Party look good so they get reelected under the other parties name. No matter what you vote they always win. Its like you hate Opel but you love Chevrolet? Doesnt matter both is General Motors. Presidents are puppets. This 2 party system is TOTAL CORRUPT FAIL

ACORN is only despised by racist pigs. Get another hobby horse, losers.

@LOVEcanheal I was homeless for six years and voted. Homeless people are not as dumb as you might think, in fact a lot of them are educated people who are simply down and out. While I was on the street I spent my time in the library during the day, reading about anything and everything. A lot of homeless are mentally ill and simply not sane enough to register to vote. The others are drug addicts and too worried about where their next fix is gonna come from rather than politics.

The Michigan Messenger is a known-liberal rag of a newspaper that manufactures what it calls "news". They're easy to spot. They report on the past instead of the present, and the only way you'll ever see a conservative on the front page is when they're slinging mud. The same can be said conversely for conservative rags.

Republican bashing is old-hat and pointless. Now that the nation is watching what liberals do with the keys to the kingdom, lots of democrats are embarrassed, and should be!

Your wrong right there.The homeless are able to register to vote and they find a way to the library for internet access.
